Did anyone hear the PA announcement for the travelling Liverpool fans after the game? 'The Number 10 to Orchard Park Estate, calling at Longhill, Bransholme, Bilton Grange and Longhill Estates, leaves at 10.05pm from the Anlaby Road Gates ? Has anyone ever seen a Tranmere Rovers shirt on those estates? ....
I miss the good old days of sneaking into away ends,..keeping quite....then sticking your city scarf on and singing a city song,.Rival supporters didn't seem to like it for some reason.
The women should understand that the vast majority of people at the ground love the tribalism and banter that is asscociated with football and they should not be so arrogant as to expect it to change in order for them to have their own way. Take your children to see Liverpool but explain to them that they are sitting in with Hull City supporters and that it would not be fair to wear a Liverpool shirt or to shout and cheer for Liverpool. If they want to do that get them a ticket to Anfield. By the way I'm not saying they should put up with abuse only that they should not be there in the first place wearing a Liverpool shirt. "it's only a game" GET ****ED!
Exactly. The parents should know that wearing an away shirt is a disrespectful act. It's slack of them not to recognise this and "have the talk" with the child beforehand.
Any parent who thinks it's a good idea to let their children go in the home stand, wearing the away team's colours, should be reported to Social Services.
So little kid can set off flares, bring in air horns or anything else on the long list outside the stadium (which you would see if you came to a game) of things prohibited under the same ground regulations which prohibit away fans in the home areas? Each of these kids has a parent with them. A parent who arrogantly believes regulations don't apply to them and that they and their sad brat who supports a club from another city can do as they wish whilst others have to abide by the rules. Sothe potential for trouble to be caused is there.
Why didn't they just buy a ticket for the Liverpool end and not put yourself or child in an awkward situation? It's not like it was sold out
There were 300 more tickets sold for the game than the Chelsea one. More Hull and East Yorks Liverpool plastics than Chelsea ones. Even with a protest not as many not using their tickets as you get for any match at Old Trafford which is shown as having a full house but has thousands of empty seats for a lot of games. Police figures showed only 58,000 entered through the turnstiles against Southampton last season.
I know it's already been said but seriously, what sort of ****ing idiot sends their child into the home stands wearing the away team's shirt? It's indefensible.
There is a difference between empty seats and seats being available. It was discussed all over the media and on the internet about Liverpool fans buying kids tickets and not turning up. As I said in another post the actual attendance based on tickets sold was 300 more than for the Chelse game..
Fairenough I didn't realise they were buying tickets and not turning up, I thought they were refusing to buy tickets
You missed all the stuff about the boycott that's been plastered all over the media for the past week?
Liverpool fans boycott a "massive success" please log in to view this image Around 1,000 Liverpool fans boycotted last night’s visit to Hull City in protest at £50 away tickets. The boycott, organised by FSF-affiliated supporters’ trust Spirit of Shankly (SoS) and atmosphere group Spion Kop 1906, was hailed a “massive success”. “Tonight’s protest against ticket prices has been a massive success. Initial estimates from sources and from pictures are that over half of all tickets for the away end have gone ‘unused’. This has exceeded our initial expectations,” said SoS. “We would like to thank all those who have taken part by not attending the match or the hundreds who have attended our protests at Anfield and in London. “We never expected an empty away end. We had not anticipated such a strong show of support. However what this protest has shown is that supporters up and down the country are angry, that so many people are supportive of our message and that supporters at LFC are prepared to step up in the fight for more affordable football.” The high ticket price was brought into sharp focus by the staggering difference that different fan groups can be charged thanks to “categorisation”. While Category A tickets at Hull City cost £50, Stoke City fans were fortunate enough to be charged a very reasonable £16. It’s a story that fans of certain clubs are very familiar with; routinely being charges Category A prices adds approximately £300 to the cost of following your team away from home over the full season. Solidarity Liverpool fans also received the backing of many in the home end, with Hull City Supporters' Trust (HCST) releasing a statement applauding their actions. “The HCST is concerned that ordinary supporters are being priced out of attending Premier League fixtures, including Category A matches at the KC Stadium such as this one against Liverpool, though as supporters of Hull City we will be sorry that the atmosphere will be less intense due to the absence of Liverpool fans. “The Trust applauds the actions of Liverpool fans in making a stand against high ticket prices, and will continue to lobby Hull City and the Premier League to see a fair deal put in place for all fans attending on matchdays.” Both managers also spoke out with Steve Bruce lamenting the cost of modern football, saying he felt “sorry” for fans, and Brendan Rodgers defending supporters’ right to protest. “I feel sorry for the supporters of big clubs who have to dig deep every week. We have to remember the average man in the street because they are the lifeblood of football,” said Bruce. “I hope when the new TV money comes into play the Premier League can remember football does belong to supporters. If the Premier League sets certain rules we would all have to abide by them.” Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said: “I respect the supporters' right to protest. I don't know so much about it but supporters nowadays have to work very hard to get the money to go to football games.” Background The Premier League signed a new £5.14bn media deal in February 2015, once again drew attention to the vast amounts of money pouring into football, and how little of it is reinvested in fans. FSF chief executive Kevin Miles wrote to all clubs and showed how the increase from that deal alone equated to around £46 for every fan, at every top-flight game. Football has enough money to cut prices. The FSF has campaigned on ticket prices for many years, and we organised a demo outside the Premier League shareholders meeting on Thursday 26th March. Subsequently the Premier League announced a new commitment to funding work in relation to the matchday experience and fan engagement. Further details are still to be confirmed. The FSF’s Twenty's Plenty for Away Fans called for clubs to cap away tickets at £20 on a reciprocal basis and, last season, saved 31,807 fans a total of £342,260. http://fsf.org.uk/latest-news/view/...oycott-a-massive-success#sthash.68MkQX40.dpuf
No I must have missed the part about them buying tickets, wouldn't it have been better not to buy them then that hits the people that set the prices in the pocket. As it is Allam gets the 20k? Or does that not make sense
